Atheism update

Instead of writing the million things I have to write, studying/doing schoolwork, or sleeping, I updated my statement of faith with new links. Go read, if you're interested and are open-minded. Usual disclaimer on offensiveness applies, though I do try to give warning when linking to candid (AKA inflammatory) posts.

In other news: if you tell a Catholic that they're not Christian because they believe in evolution, you're a fundamentalist. Even if your church calls itself "Evangelical."

A Statement of Faith

This post may be edited at any later time; I intend it to be an overarching statement of my current religious beliefs.


I am what is commonly termed a "weak atheist"--I do not believe in the existence of a higher deity because I have found no satisfactory reason to believe otherwise. However, I am also a "militant atheist," being quite adamant about my faith or lack thereof. Atheism is as important to my sense of self as being Christian is to an evangelicist. I am drawn to the serenity of Buddhism, but I find that personal meditation achieves that quite well without the need for organized religion.

This post will mainly reference Christianity, and I am not tactful. If you're easily offended, don't click the cut.
